Grammy-nominated performer, composer and educator Zacbe Pichardo performs on the Arpa Jarocha, a wooden harp typical of the Mexican Gulf coast. This is the first in a three-part series presenting harp traditions from around the world, in programs inspired by the Met’s Musical Instruments Collection. Following the concerts, guests are invited on a guided tour of the newly reopened Musical Instruments galleries.

We are an independent, for-PURPOSE, non-profit,
multi-disciplinary, international festival. Our success to continue bringing FREE and affordable events of the best contemporary Mexican arts and culture to New York City, and beyond, depends on the financial support we receive through crowdfunding, sponsorships,
pro-bono and in-kind support.
